Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY DECEMBER 12, 1933. PAGE THREE HIT BOOTLEGGER CHOAOMICE $2.20 Per Gallon Mentioned as Probable Recommenda tion to Congress Legal Liquor to Retailer at $1.20 WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. ( AP) A liquor tax "somewhere between $2 and 93 a gallon" and low enough to squeeze out tn bootlegger waa advocated to a Joint congressional committee by Joseph H. Ohoate, Jr., chairman of the lederal alcohol ad ministration. He was followed by Edward O. Lowry, Jr., chairman of President Roosevelt's interdepartmental com mittee, who expressed the opinion wAiisky of rather low quality might eventually be sold for 91.50 a quart under a $2.60 a gallon federal tax. The committee had recommended a levy of this amount. $2.20 Probable Figure Choate did not mention a specific figure, In line with the administra tion's policy of leaving a decision up to congress. A 92 20 a gallon levy waa frequently mentioned aa probable. President Roosevelt waa represent ed as being more Interested In driv ing the bootlegger out of business than In boosting the amount of liq uor revenues. Lowry exjlalned the committee's recommendation for a 92.60 tax was based on tU accompanying sugges tion that the federal government take over the entire field of gallon age taxation, and divide the revenues with the states. He said If this suggestion was not followed and the gallons ge tax field left open to the states the federal tax should not be more than 92 or 92.20 a gallon. He estimated revenues from a 92 tax would be 9170,000,000 and from a 93 tax $218,000,000. Might Cost Over $1.50 r Questioned by Representative Mc Cormack (D Mass.), Lowry agreed there was some doubt in his own mind as to the possibility of selling whisky for 91.60 a quart with a tax of 92.60 a gallon.. McCormack asked if It wouldn't be better to fix the tax rate at 91.75 In order to assure elimination of the bootlegger. Lowry agreed the committee had kept the tax as high aa it could In order to raise as much revenue as possiblea nd still permit the legal liquor Industry to outsell the boot legger and that It might have "steered too close to the line. The witness said the committee, In considering the differences in cost between the legal and illegal sellers, had taken into consideration two factors that the public would rather buy legal than illegal liquor and that the Illegal operator must make a wider margin of profit. Cost to Retailer Si. 20 Lowry said the best evidence the committee coma obtain was that le gal liquor could be placed In the hands of retailers $1.20 a gallon, but that Illegal spirits cost 94.20 a gal. Ion In the retailers .hands because of "protection, bribery, gunman and everything down the line." Lowry explained the 94.20 figure waa baaed on large scale operations but that It probably would be im possible for legal liquor to compete with the small bootlegger with a couple of bottles in his satchel." He explained that for the latter the only cost, of distribution waa his shoe leather." Representative Crowther fR., N, T.) suggested that 9170,000.000 es timated to result from a 92 tax would not make up for the reve nues automatically lost when pro hibition waa repealed. . Revenue From Imports. Lowry said in addition to an ex cise tax of 9170,000,000 the treasury estimated 20,000,000 gallons of lm portatlons would pay a tariff of 8 1 20,000.000 and wine revenues would amount to 930,000.000. Lowry agreed there were many "complications" in carrying out his committee's recommendation for di viding revenues with states that re frained from levying a gallonage tax. Representative Evans R., cal.) sug gested the plan was "impractical" but Lowry dissented. Society and Clubs Edited by Eva Nealon Hamilton Mra. Lltllertrld to Be Honored at Luncheon Mrs. M. J.

Charles Farrell Comes Wednesday In Craterian Hit The most glorious romance since "7th Heaven." That Is how "Man's Castle,' which starts lta four-day engagement at the Craterian theater tomorrow, has been hailed. And like "7th Heaven," this latest romance was directed by Frank Borzage, whose directorial genius waa responsible not only for the sudden start to stardom of Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. but also for James Dunn and Sally Ellers, whom he directed in "Bad Girl." A lore born of the fragile dream of two hungry hearta is unfolded In the contsastlng setting of the somber, poverty-stricken depression commun ity and portrayed by two of the screen's most appealing players, Spen cer Tracy and Loretta Young. Spencer Tracy, fresh from his tri umph in "The Power and the Glory," plays the role of "Bill." an irrespon sible, gruff, kind, but charming fel low. Loretta Young is "Trlna, hungry, homeless, helpless girl, who la befriended by Bill and taken into his miserable shanty home In the squatter community on the river front. The ecstatic love of these two young people is the story of "Man s Castle." Others in the cast are Glenda Far rell, who plays a role similar to that she had in "Lady for a Day," that of a musical comedy star. During the course of the picture, she sings sev eral songs. Arthur Hohl. well-known character player, is cast as the brag gart, a powerful and vivid character, Walter Connolly as the preaching night watchman; the ever-colorful Marlorle Rambeau. as a broken-down prostitute, and Dickie Moore aa lovable and appealing crippled boy. FOR ANOTHER TRIAL It has been stipulated between counsel that arguments In the mo tion for a new trial of Ted Haines, Rep Top district father, now serving three years In state prison on con viction of a statutory crime Involv ing a 15-year-old gtri, will be sub mitted in briefs. Monday. December 11 has been set for submission of the briefs by District Attorney Geo. A.' Codding and Attorney Rawles Moore, for the defense. The defense contention is based upon the claim that Vie name of the foreman of the grand Jury doe not appear on the indictment; that suf ficient time was not granted for the preparation of the defense, and ex ceptions are taken to the rulings of the court, and the remarks of the state attorney In his closing state ments to the Jury. . The defense also contends that in troduction of testimony setting forth a trip to Butte Falls of Haines and the girl in the case was improper, and that new evidence has been found. , It is also claimed that feel ing existed against Haines in the Red Top district. Haines, in his own behalf, pro duced a witness to show that he was in Grants Pass with the complaining witness and another girl at the time the state .holds the crime waa committed. First half of the Elks' club bridge tournament will be completed to night at the temple, play starting at 8 o'clock.
